I've been to many ren fests, and I can say that no one cares what you're dressed as, as long as it looks dope. I once saw a man in a weird mechanical raven-man outfit, giving small colored rocks to children. I've also seen Jesus there many times.
Ren faires are just an anacronism stew. Maybe some take historical accuracy seriously, but I've been to quite a few and have yet to see one that does. My local one has everything from ancient greece to steampunk Victorians. There's even a Wok themed after Imperial China where these guys would fit right in. You see more fantasy then historical costumes usually anyway.
It's just a place for nerds and weirdos to vibe, buy trinkets, drink, eat fair food, and wear cool costumes.
